Hi!

Can my custom-coded strategy utilize an ATM strategy I have configured and saved in Ninjatrader already?

Hello iantriestrading,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, you can start an ATM strategy inside your strategy script. Please note however it is not possible to use ATM strategies with the Strategy Builder.

To use an ATM strategy in your script you would need to unlock it.

Below are links to the help guide on ATM Strategy Methods which can be used in an unlocked script.

Using Atm Strategy Methods - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...strategies.htm

You can also see the SampleAtmStrategy script included in NinjaTrader 8 which demonstrates.

From the Strategy Builder, exit behavior can be added with logic. Below is a link to examples of a breakeven and trailing action implemented in the Strategy Builder.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
